Focused power.

Shuchu ryoku.

This principle is known as the focusing of whole body power and movement into a single point. This can be a strike, a throw, a projection into a kuzushi point or an immobilization technique. I have come to know this principle by studying Yoshinkan Aikido. This would be one of their main characteristics.

Following a clip of Gozo shioda sensei. Try to identify the principle at work.

 

 

How to develop this kind of "power". Practice your posture and bacic techniques while giving attention to the focusing of body, breath power and mind into a single point. With time you will develop focused power.

"There are no advanced techniques, just the basics applied well"

 

Enjoy practice.
